Interesting new method of taking a drown down, with sound frequencies. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/01/31/drones_brought_down_using_sound/

@Petr Hejl It'll be a little bit before I can justify a new copter with the spouse, however... I've been thinking I could grab a P3Pro (or Advanced since I don't really need 4K) for a discount now that the P4 is out. However the Typhoon H is looking pretty nice as well. Are you going to get...

I was using the cc3d revo, but did not have a GPS for return to home. I didn't have control of it, however, failsafe did not kick in. It didn't lose signal because the props kept spinning, where as I had fail safe setup to kill the motors. After thinking about it, I really feel like one of the...

Shall we have a thread for mourning the a loss? On Saturday while staying on the gulf coast, I decided to wake up and try to grab some footage of the sun rise over the ocean. Everything was going great, but then about 5 minutes in (full battery normally got me 15+ minutes) something went very...

Update: Posts can now be edited! Thanks Admins! (see what I did there? sota meta isn't it :) ) ------- Is there anyway we can edit an original post? I see a lot of forums where someone will post a guide or list of settings etc, and then sort maintain that as a "page" updating it with changes...

Re-watching these I think I did quite a bit better on the second video. I setup the dual rates on the controller so that I have a bit smoother flying and I realized you have to hold a shot for much longer then you'd initially think.

Hey guys! Excited about the new site/forum. Thought I'd post my first two videos as an introduction. I only just started getting into this hobby late last year, when I got a Syma X5C. I started building my first quad from scratch last month and have finally have it flying decently. It is a 380...
